How can I tell if my 1 year old son has dark colored urine in a disposable diaper?

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:18:50 +0000

We are using disposable diapers at the moment. When I look at the inside of the diaper there is no evidence of urine until I look at the top of the inside panel on the side where the belly button would be. I see above that panel (not inside it) that there is some urine but it appears to be a bit deep yellow. Is this dark urine or is that just how the diaper happens to absorb? Please help because my son has dilated kidneys and I need to know if he is having dark urine. Thanks!

Heavy Absorbency Diapers

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:34:58 +0000

There is an assortment of diapers available in the market to suit the needs of those who use them. Often, adult diapers are used by people who have ailments like incontinence or working pregnant women who need to urinate frequently or handicapped or invalid patients. No matter what the case is, it is always advised by doctors, pharmacists and preferable by the users to use diapers that have heavy absorbency.

Diapers with heavy absorbency are highly favored because they do not need to be changed frequently each time that they have been soiled. They can be worn for a longer period of time and save the user the inconveniences and troubles of frequent changes. Most heavy absorbent diapers come in good quality material to avoid rashes that are caused due to long hours. Many manufacturers provide diapers with changeable pads in case the diapers become heavy after being soiled many times. The entire diaper need not be changed; the person can change only the pads after they have been soiled many times. Heavy absorbent diapers are also used by those who suffer form bedwetting issues and require wearing a diaper throughout the night. In these cases, along with the heavy absorbency, diapers are designed to provide comfort and relief to the wearer.

Another basic advantage is the cost, although a single heavy absorbency diaper may cost slightly more, but it can be used for a longer period of time thereby reducing the total monthly diaper expenditure.

Diapers, which have the capacity to absorb a lot, are often coated with a special absorbent material that keeps the diaper dry each time it is soiled. These diapers are usually of the disposable types as they get too heavy and dirty to wash and reuse, although, some brands do market reusable heavy absorbent diapers. They are mostly preferred by those adults who are unable to constantly change their soiled diapers.

Changing Adult Diapers

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 00:35:08 +0000

Those who use adult diapers are usually individuals who battle with issues like bedwetting, incontinence, urinary problems, pregnant women who need to urinate often etc. Depending on the reason that a person uses a diaper, one must change it at different intervals. But long and frequent wearing of a wet diaper leads to skin rashes also known as diaper sores.

When a person is at home and is suffering form any illness, their diapers are usually changed by those who take care of them. For some handicapped and invalid people it is decided that diapers must be changed at fixed times by the caretaker like after naps, after meals, etc. others feel that diapers must be changed, not at specific timings, but simply whenever it is required to. This again, depends solely on the comfort and schedule of the user. A lot of people suffer from diaper rashes, which are sores that develop on their sensitive areas, which are in constant contact with the diaper. It is advisable for such people that they change diapers as soon as the diapers are soiled. In case of those using diapers because of bedwetting, they can change the diaper just before going to bed and then as soon as they get up in the morning. In case a person is caught in a situation where he/ she cannot change diapers as often, it is wise to use diapers that are more absorbent.

To avoid any kind of inconvenience caused by skin rashes and irritation caused by the odor of soiled diapers, many people opt to use baby oil on their buttocks and sensitive areas. They may also use some special cream, salve or balm to get relief from the irritation while they are changing their diapers. After changing diapers, they must be disposed carefully with the garbage if they are disposable.

Disposable Diapers

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:29:45 +0000

Diapers are undoubtedly an integral part of a baby's growing up years and disposable diapers are largely preferred by working parents for their convenience. Invented by Marion Donovan of the US, disposable diapers are a very expensive baby accessory. However, they are chosen by parents who are largely pressed for time.

When disposable diapers were first introduced in the mid 1950s, they were primarily plastic diapers with plenty of fluff. However, the present breed of disposables have come a long way. All of them are available with water-resistant covers, absorbent pads and dry-weave sheets to make the baby feel as dry and comfortable as possible. There are no attachment diaper pins needed, since most of these diapers come with excellent leak-proof Velcro attachments.

Disposable diapers, in spite of their easy-to-use factor, bring along with them a host of health problems for the baby. The most common problem is diaper rash. Due to repeated urination and lack of proper air circulation, babies often develop rashes that can be extremely painful. Some health experts are of the opinion that dyes used in disposable diapers may lead to permanent damage to the baby's liver as well as the central nervous system. There are even stray reports by some doctors and medical professionals the toxic gas emanating from a used disposable diaper may lead to asthma. The absorbent pads within the diapers contain a chemical solution(present as gel) known as sodium polyacrylate. This controls the fluid within the diaper, preventing leakage. However, this is the chemical that is solely responsible for diaper rashes.

In spite of such obvious drawbacks, disposable diaper manufacturers claim that their products have been repeatedly tested and proved safe. Big production companies also claim to have employed quality-control experts to look for manufacturing defects. Such repeated assurances from manufacturers have led many parents to switch to disposable diapers from cloth ones that are usually considered to be a healthier option.

However, the fact remains that most disposable diapers occupy huge portions of land(once they are disposed) in a world that is becoming increasingly short of space. There are also a number of air borne and water borne diseases that might arise out of such garbage. Human diapers may even prove to be fatal for animals if the toxic gas is inhaled. The disposed of diapers may even affect plant life and may go on to have a detrimental effect on our environment.
